TOPICS:

Topic 1 - OpenFaaS: From Zero to Serverless in 60 seconds

OpenFaaS or Functions as a Service is a Cloud Native framework for building serverless functions with containers.

The OpenFaaS framework lets you package any process as a serverless function for either Linux or Windows - just bring your own Kubernetes or Docker cluster.

You can deploy OpenFaaS in 60 seconds on Kubernetes or Swarm and thanks to concise code templates all you need to write is a handler in your favourite programming language - let your cluster do the heavy lifting.

OpenFaaS was recently trending as the top Golang project on GitHub and has over 10k stars. Come and find out how and why people are leveraging an event-driven architecture along with some cool interactive demos.

Topic 2: The FaaS side of an RPi galaxy (How to create Serverless Raspberry Pi Cluster with Kubernetes)

In this talk we will show how to create a Serverless Raspberry Pi cluster by setting up Kubernetes on RPi hosts, deploying OpenFaaS and running serverless functions on the cluster. Master Yoda will be there to help!
